Documented Life Journal ~ Week 51

Week 51 : Arrows! I used a vintage page from a French dictionary I was given at the library during a workshop. I included a quote I liked about arrows and then drew arrows all along the page. It was a simple page but, as always, very enjoyable to work on. I posted this week all the previous weekly pages, in case you missed it here is the link: my 2014 documented art project journal.

February is fast approaching and I am ready to take on a new challenge.

In early 2015, I followed the KonMari method and it had a great positive impact for me. I have kept up with it, especially when it comes to making buying decisions, focusing on quality over quantity. You can read about the KonMari process on these blog posts: The Magic of Tidying Up.

Recently, I watched Minimalism: a Documentary About The Important Things and found out about their 30-Day Minimalism Game, which is a challengeJoshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus suggested at the start of this year. I loved their documentary and agreed with a lot of their points. I watched several homeschool friends participate in this game over this past month. I was a bit too late to start so I decided to start on February 1st instead.

The challenge is simple: on the first day, choose one item to get rid of. On the second day, choose two things to get rid of, and so on through the whole month. Each day, we are to take the it…

Happy New Year! Each year, I choose a word to focus on and since today is the first day of 2017, time to reveal my word.

You can also read about my past choices, if you are interested, by going to the very bottom of this post. I have them listed with links by year and word.

This year, as I started working through finding my word, a theme emerged. Personal challenges really brought that out. The five words that came through were courage, bravery, perseverance, nourish, and acceptance.

I have kept the explanations very simple this year, but I think they are also very powerful.

For 2017, I choose the word courage.

Courage to be selfish, to choose the path that is best for me.

Courage to face all the challenges with strength that I know I have inside of me.

Courage to try new things, including things that push my boundaries and break down my walls.

Courage to believe in myself and that I can do anything that I set my mind to.Courage to go against the flow.
